The game is suitable for ages 8 and up. Gameplay is handled through cards. You are samurai on a quest to become supreme military commander of Japan. To do this, you must defeat the other player by eliminating their 4 armor and 4 health tokens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUse cards to inflict damage and defend. When taking a turn, you may attack by playing an offensive card. To defend, play a card with a defensive value and subtract it from the attack value to determine if the hit landed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter taking an action, you may play an action card face down. This is your defensive stance during your opponent's turn. When you opponent takes an action, you may reveal your stance card. However, if your opponent chooses to attack, your stance will break and any benefit to be gained from it will be lost.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDivine beings and forces of nature called kami provide crucial support in battle. Every kami possesses two abilities: an active one that requires playing a purify card and a passive ability that is \"always on.\" Not only do kami provide game-changing special powers, they can be called upon to sacrifice themselves in kamikaze attacks that inflict massive damage (crab bosses beware). Each time you activate a kami power, though, you must draw a shrine card. A mixture of good and bad events, shrine cards are yet another element of risk to think about when considering use of kami powers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-description from designer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"(Self-Published)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32716989661235,"sku":"","price":16.65,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic5092552.jpg?v=1611899541","url":"https:\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/products\/katana-samurai-action-card-game","provider":"booyakajuice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
